The finial is a crowning ornament. It covers that lightning rod and makes it all pretty.
The lightning rods were in place before the steeple was set in place. The additional rod you see sticking straight up was applied after the roof was finished.
The lightning rod rope runs down the side of the building and is buried 10 feet into the ground.

That's a big climb!
